- The Boulton Paul Defiant is stronger than River-n-White's usual AV-8. Its shots are automatically targeted towards an enemy. However, this can be a distraction to a player very used to positioning an ordinary plane in order to strike the enemy; in addition, there is no way to change the enemy at which the shots are aiming, meaning that the plane will not always strike where the player desires.
- The Boulton Paul Defiant was a British interceptor aircraft that served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Second World War. The Defiant was designed and built by Boulton Paul Aircraft as a "turret fighter", without any forward-firing guns. It was a contemporary of the Royal Navy's Blackburn Roc. The concept of a turret fighter related directly to the successful First World War-era Bristol F.2 Fighter.

| abstract | - The Boulton Paul P.82 Defiant was a two-seat day/night fighter used by Great Britain in the early years of World War II.
- The Boulton Paul Defiant is stronger than River-n-White's usual AV-8. Its shots are automatically targeted towards an enemy. However, this can be a distraction to a player very used to positioning an ordinary plane in order to strike the enemy; in addition, there is no way to change the enemy at which the shots are aiming, meaning that the plane will not always strike where the player desires. The Boulton's special weapon consists of four support wingmen who appear to either side of the plane. The wingmen automatically fire weapons and are invulnerable for a short period of time. After the invulnerability wears off, they will remain until struck with enemy fire.
- The Boulton Paul Defiant was a British interceptor aircraft that served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Second World War. The Defiant was designed and built by Boulton Paul Aircraft as a "turret fighter", without any forward-firing guns. It was a contemporary of the Royal Navy's Blackburn Roc. The concept of a turret fighter related directly to the successful First World War-era Bristol F.2 Fighter. In practice, the Defiant was found to be reasonably effective as a bomber–destroyer, but vulnerable to the Luftwaffe's more agile, single-seat Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters. Lack of forward armament proved to be a major weakness in daylight combat and its potential was only realized when it switched to night combat. It was supplanted in the night fighter role by the Bristol Beaufighter and de Havilland Mosquito. The Defiant found use in gunnery training, target towing, electronic countermeasures (ECM) and air-sea rescue. Among RAF pilots, it had the nickname "Daffy".
